Kevin Feige Confirms Future ‘Avengers’ Movies Will Set the Stage for X-Men Stories

Following Disney’s acquisition of Fox, fans have eagerly anticipated the arrival of the Mutants, including the X-Men, in the MCU. While Deadpool and Wolverine have begun bridging the gap, and other Mutants have already made subtle appearances, the official MCU debut of these iconic characters is still one of the most highly anticipated events—and it’s expected to be nothing short of epic, as promised by Marvel insiders.

For now, details remain scarce. Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios have remained tight-lipped, fueling a wave of rumors—some more credible than others—about how the Mutants, particularly the X-Men, will be integrated into the MCU in a way that meets fans’ lofty expectations.

However, Feige recently gave fans a tantalizing hint during an interview where he compared the creative processes behind Endgame and Secret Wars. And yes, the X-Men made a surprise appearance in the conversation! Curious about what he revealed? Read on for the details!

The X-Men are undeniably one of Marvel’s most valuable franchises. While their future in the MCU remains shrouded in mystery, one thing is clear—they’re on their way.

Speculation has run rampant, from rumors of Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart reprising their iconic roles more permanently, to James McAvoy being considered, and even talk of Marvel assembling an entirely new cast. Yet, nothing official has been confirmed.

That said, when Kevin Feige speaks, it’s as close to an official Marvel Studios announcement as it gets. While the interview we’re about to share doesn’t confirm anything outright, Feige’s words carry significant weight, making this a key moment for fans. Here’s what he had to say:

The entire interview is worth watching, but the standout moment comes at around 4:20, when Feige says this about the difference between Endgame and Secret Wars:

“What’s fun this time is… now we know very much what the grand storyline is leading up to Secret Wars, but also beyond… like The X-Men.”

Yes, you read that right! This is the confirmation fans have been waiting for. The upcoming Avengers films are poised to not only shake up the MCU but also directly tie into the future of the X-Men.

This connection marks a monumental shift and sets the stage for an exciting new era in the MCU. From where we’re standing, the future looks incredibly promising, and we can’t wait to see what Marvel has planned.
